Extra shares more details about alleged Mia Goth battery incident on MaXXXine set
Background actor James Hunter claims Goth kicked him in the head and verbally assaulted him in a porta potty during production on the A24 horror film

James Hunter—the background actor who sued Mia Goth for battery and director Ti West and A24 for wrongful termination earlier this year—has come forward with new details regarding his alleged experience on the MaXXXine set. In his complaint, originally reported in January by TMZ, Hunter claims that Goth “intentionally” kicked him in the head, causing a concussion. She then allegedly proceeded to approach him in the bathroom where she “taunted, mocked, and belittled” him. The outlet claims that Hunter is suing for at least $500,000 in damages.
Now that the film is out in theaters, Hunter has provided more details about his alleged experience to the website Dread Central. The actor claims that he was the only extra on set for this particular night shoot and that Ti West instructed him to lie on the ground outdoors without padding, where he was bitten by ants and mosquitoes. The team proceeded to shoot multiple takes between Hunter and Goth. “On the fourth or fifth take, I’m laying on the left side of my ear,” he explained. “I hear her; she runs by me, and I hear her boot clamp down right next to my ear. And I thought, oh, well, it’s dark out. She’s not really getting a beat on exactly where I’m laying.”
